during a military operation to find ten FAL 7.62 rifles and one 9 mm pistol stolen from an army barracks in Rio de Janeiro.

BACKGROUND We have previously proposed a theoretical model for studying physical disability and other outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this paper is to test a model of impairment and functional limitation in (RA), using empirical data from a sample of RA patients. We based the model on the disablement process framework. METHODS We posited two distinct types of impairment ...

The pedicle is a power nucleus of the vertebra and offers a secure grip of all 3 columns. Pedicle screw instrumentation has advantages of rigid fixation with improved three-dimensional (3D) correction and it is accepted as a reliable method with a high margin of safety. Accurate placement of the pedicle screws is important to reduce possible irreversible complications. Many methods of screw ins...

The statics and dynamics of pneumatic power screwdriver operation were investigated in the context of predicting forces acting against the human operator. A static force model is described in the paper, based on tool geometry, mass, orientation in space, feed force, torque build up, and stall torque. Three common power hand tool shapes are considered, including pistol grip, right angle, and in-...

diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis can be confirmed based on clinical and/or radiological features. the potential of a progressive disease can be prevented or decreased by earlier recognition and correction of associated factors. obesity and alignment especially varus malalignment are recognized factors of a progressive disease. both nonpharmalogical as well as pharmacological modalities of treat...

measuring and comparing grip and pinch strengths with their normative data is a valid method to detect intensity of the numerous damages of hand. this research was carried out with the aim of establishing normative data of grip strength and three types of pinch strengths (tip, key and palmar) in healthy iranian adults.in this cross-sectional study, the study population was formed of 1008 people...

Introduction It is difficult to treat fractures of the phalanges of the hand because they can cause complications such as deformity and joint limitation with a reduction in the grasping function. The most frequent complications are malunion of the fracture and joint limitation. The greatest incidence of complications can be found in transverse fractures of the base of the proximal phalanx, in a...

Objective: A comparison between the treatment used and hand deformities in patients with RA. The treatment includes conventional disease modifying drugs (DMARD) or DMARD and biological agents. Methods: This study involved 70 female patients admitted between February 2016 and August 2016 to The Central Clinical Hospital in Warsaw to the Rheumatology Department. The group was divided as follows: ...
